Range to target? Number of rounds? Time before you’re dead?

Blew off the lawn today in favour of getting all my stuff up and running on the new bandwidth capable backbone. We’ve living on dial up speed for the last 4 years now and finally have enough bandwidth where I can load the cameras on the Internet and not have to use a 4G access point. I can cancel that now. I don’t think I’m going to get a bill for a while after they screwed up my garage.

I’ve been working with this guy for 3 years now trying to get high speed Internet into this neighborhood. We’ve been to lunch a few times while we talked tech and even 1 social occasion on their company dime. Nice to have the higher speed, the Plex server will be hosting the WS’XX pictures for all you guys to dig through.

Round one, 5yrds, move on draw, four shots on 4” target, move and four shots on 6” target.
Round two, start from 30yrds run to cover @ 10yrds , lean out to right 4 shots on 8” steal, back behind cover, mag change, lean out to left 4 shots, back behind cover. No misses or repeat round.

Good job, but the whole reason I have a gun is not to run…

We did an active shooter sim that wound through a heavily wooded property. Each trail was to represent a hallway, each turn had to be cleared, sometimes in two directions. We ran the course in pairs, one person covering left, one right. You would encounter hostiles and friendlys and engaged with live fire. It really got your heart rate up.

Practicing movements is a good thing! You have to remember though, shooters will shoot through the sheetrock.

Dunno how long I might stay up tonight. Getting tired. Turns out building chairs indoors the carrying them outside is quite tiring
